Hong Kong restaurants

Hi guys
Heading there in a few days and it'd be much appreciated with some tips on where to eat as I've not been for some time.
Especially keen on seafood, crabs...

Ten years ago I could have given you a list as long as your arm, but these days we eat out about once a year. The missus is a wonderful cook. Happy to help with watches if any directions needed, though.

Affordable and pretty good food with a free boat shuttle transfer:

After sunset, the best place imo is the Intercontinental Hotel bar for a drink:

If you're keen on seafood then definitely check this place: http://www.lei-yue-mun.com/

Live seafood on display and all available for you to pick and choose. After which you take over to the adjacent restaurants for them to prepare all the dishes to your liking.

A bit of a tourist trap but definitely a place to see if you're into seafood.

Tin Lung Heen at the Ritz Carlton. Michelin-starred. Great food, service, and view.

When in HK, I head to "The Peak" for some great, tourist restaurants. For local food, head to the places in TST, Causeway Bay, Wan Chai, or Central.
